About the experience
A great opportunity for two to try out the hallowed art of falconry. Ideal for bird of prey enthusiasts or those who might be curious about Britain's number one predators; this experience both entertains and educates. The session begins with a tour of the chosen venue; learn about the history of the sport, different species of birds of prey and what makes each one different. Then, an experienced bird handler introduces you both to some birds so you can get comfortable handling them and prepare to try out falconry first-hand. For the main event, get gloved up and experience the speed and strength of the creatures when flying a bird to the fist. It's a feeling that is hard to forget.
